Plant Description

The Calicotome spinosa, or Spiny Broom, is a dense, thorny shrub known for its bright, golden-yellow flowers and sharp, needle-like spines. This plant forms a rounded shape with small, dark green, trifoliate leaves that contrast beautifully with its vivid blooms. In spring, clusters of fragrant flowers cover the shrub, creating a striking display against its green foliage. The stiff, thorny branches make Calicotome spinosa highly resistant to browsing animals, while its intense flowering adds a bold splash of color to rocky, arid landscapes.
